PCB Assembly of Flight Electronics is the traditional & core activity having been developed since 1994. The CSRC cleanroom located in Kromeriz was the very first ESA qualified facility for manual space electronics PCB assembly in the Czech Republic.
To increase the manufacturing power and capabilities BD SENSORS built-up the very first space qualified automatic PCB assembly line in the Czech Republic located in Buchlovice.
The automatic assembly line is installed in cleanroom ISO class 8. The line consists of both complementary machine and additional hand soldering technology. For the additional hand soldering activities minimum of 4 new workplaces are included. In addition, there are workplaces for all activities which are necessary for completion of the Flight Units including mechanical integration, gluing, harness, crimping, electrical testing, etc.
The complete production line for ECSS-qualified electronics assembly covers the following process:
Machine soldering is based on:
Additional hand soldering workplaces are equipped:
Assembly line consists of the following workplaces:
